I'm not sure if this is the right forum, I tried to post in another one (on the forum list it was above the Tavern) but I was told I didn't have the rights to post there.
Anywho, a friend of mine heard me talking about M:TW at work, and he wanted to check it out, so I lent him my copy of M:TW -- I play with the VI disc, so I don't need the vanilla version. He had no problems installing it, and his computer is more recent/advanced than mine is. He has no problem with quick battles and such, but he says when he clicks on Campaign, it loads up to pick the faction, the era, and then when he begins the bar loads fully and then sends him back to the Main Menu. When he clicks on "Resume Campaign" the bar loads fully again, and the screen flashes, but he's still on the main menu.
I'm not too technologically aware, so I'm not altogether sure what the issue is. His drivers should be up to date, his video card, ram, and all of that. He says he checked the help info on the disc, and he said nothing was helping. He went through each one, and from what I gathered, he says it told him to turn off any other applications/programs that were running, but none were. So we're both baffled.
He knows more about it than I, so I'll try to get him to explain it if I missed something...
Here he is:
Yeah, thats pretty much it. I have directX 9 and thats newer than the 8.whatever is on the disc. It told me to set my display to the same as the game, and I did. It hasn't helped. What am I missing?
